    So if the dyes aren't artificial, you can claim "no artificial colours". This sounds like it makes sense? 👍

    In the past, companies were generally only able to make such claims when their products had no added color whatsoever — whether derived from natural sources or otherwise.

    Here in the UK, I'm pretty sure "No added colours" and "No artificial colours" are two different claims.

    Yeah, otherwise you'd have couldn't sell anything with that label. Carrots have natural dyes in them, after all.
